How many people play Guild Wars 2? Player count & population tracker (December 2024)

Guild Wars 2 continues to be a successful MMO despite being over a decade old, and the classic MMORPG still has a strong player count in 2024.

It’s no secret that the MMORPG space is competitive, with many enjoying the likes of Elder Scrolls Online, Lost Ark, and World of Warcraft. However, with so many MMOs out there, the likes of Guild Wars 2 can easily get forgotten.

Luckily, when looking at the population tracker, it’s clear this game is very much alive.

Daily player count

As of December 2024, it’s estimated that around 64.640 players logged into Guild Wars 2 every day recently according to MMO Population.

Note that “players and daily login numbers are estimations based on subscriber numbers and online sentiment.” It’s worth remembering that these are just estimates, as no official count has been released for the game.
